Frequently Asked Oral Surgery Questions

  • How do I know I need my wisdom teeth removed?

    Common signs that may indicate the need for removal include pain in the gums near the wisdom teeth, gum inflammation, impacted wisdom teeth, or overcrowding of other teeth in the mouth. It’s best to talk to your dentist or oral surgeon about your particular situation and determine if wisdom teeth removal is necessary.

  • Is root canal therapy painful?

    Root canal therapy has been around for many years and is generally not a painful procedure; in fact, it is often key in relieving dental pain! Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area before beginning the treatment, so you should feel little or no discomfort during the procedure. Following treatment, your dentist may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers or an antibiotic to help manage any discomfort. 

  • Will I get anesthesia before my dental treatment?

    Depending on the type of procedure you need, your dentist or oral surgeon will discuss appropriate anesthesia options with you. Options may include general anesthesia, local anesthesia, and/or sedation. Discussing different levels of comfort is important, so be sure to speak with your doctor about any concerns prior to starting treatment. 

  • Does dental insurance cover oral surgery?

    Most insurance plans will cover at least a portion of the costs associated with oral surgery, especially if the procedure is considered medically necessary. Before treatment, it’s important to contact your insurance provider directly to determine what is (and isn’t) covered by your plan. Additionally, our office can review your coverage and explain any fees that may not be included in your policy. 

  • How can I prevent tooth decay?

    The best way to prevent tooth decay is by practicing good oral hygiene. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. Additionally, limiting sugary snacks and drinks can help reduce your risk of tooth decay.
